Programme prospectus
The aim of the course is to
familiarize water sector managers and development professionals with key issues
in strategic management. Upon completion of this course, participants will know
how to analyse the institutional capacity of water organizations within their
country and sector environments. Participants will be exposed to the taxonomy of
models of water organization (municipal, regional, parastatal and various
private modes), their strengths and weaknesses and their adaptability to
particular needs and circumstances. They will have gained deeper knowledge of
the critical preconditions (legal change, economic regulation, benchmarking,
facilitation) for successful private sector participation in the water sector.
Participants will also have a deeper understanding of the fundamental
differences between community oriented and customer-oriented approaches to
utility management.
